5.4.4 Installing and Removing the Blade Holder
Fig. 19
Before the blade holder can be replaced, it
must be brought into a 45° inclined position.
To do so, insert the size 3 Allen key sideways
into the blade holder through the hole (8) and
rotate it 45° clockwise.
Turning the screw (9) counterclockwise
releases the blade holder, allowing it to be
replaced.
The installation is carried out in reverse order.
Cleaning the blade holder
To clean the blade holder after removal, spray it
with alcohol. It can then be wiped down with a
piece of cellulose and placed on a cellulose tow-
el to dry completely.

For quality and service reasons, the
blade holder (7) is available as a com-
plete unit only.

Always remove the blade BEFORE in-
stalling or removing the blade holder!
